    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka., 2024) Weerasinghe, R. D.; Madhushanka, W. A. H.
    Although sales employees are drivers of every organization, amid this economic contraction, they are uncomfortable with unfit sales targets. So, the employees tend to leave, unless organizational support emerges. Under this scenario, organizations light on the retention strategy in this regard. With that objective, the present study was taken to identify the impact of perceived organizational support on turnover intention with the mediating effect of sales employee engagement referring to a leading insurance company in Sri Lanka. Even if there are theoretical and empirical findings well documented for the problem, those may change according to economic fluctuations; the study is based on the specific time in 2022 in Sri Lanka, which was economically difficult for everyone. The study was quantitative, and a sample of 350 non-executive sales employees was selected utilizing the convenience sampling method. The primary data was collected using self-administered questionnaires and analyzed using the SPSS statistical package. The study found that perceived organizational support is significantly related to employee engagement, which in turn has an impact on the turnover intention of the respective employees. Further, employee engagement is found to be a partial mediator (EE = -1.1459) between independent and dependent variables but the direct effect of POS on the DV remains statistically significant (p < 0.001). The study concludes that organizational supportiveness supports eliminating turnover intentions when considering the effect of employee engagement things. Therefore, it suggests practicing more and more engagement activities at the workplace.

    (Faculty of Commerce and Management Studies, University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, 2022) Madhushanka, W. A. H.; Karunarathne, R. A. I. C.
    The main objective of the study was to examine the effect of perceived organizational support on turnover intention through employee engagement. The research approach is deductive, and data were collected from 281 employees using a survey. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of Process for SPSS (version 4.2). The results of this study showed that there is a significant positive effect of organizational support on employee engagement, there is a significant negative effect of the employee engagement on turnover intention, there is a significant negative effect of the perceived organizational support on turnover intention and there is a negative mediating effect of the employee engagement on the relationship between turnover intention and perceived organizational support. Moreover, employee engagement partially mediated the relationship between turnover intention and perceived organizational support. Thus, all hypotheses were accepted. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. The main limitation of this study is data collection was limited to one point in time.
